yes, but that makes it difficult to be consistent with images on different boards if they react differently.
I use a lot of scripts that work on all boards cause they work the same, but if they are now reacting different that means I have to watch out for things like this and it makes scripts and automations a lot harder.

I want to see where it stops "Hit 6" is not really a site or anything, just means it's the 6th site it tried to open, what ever the 6th would be.

Sorry, I have no possibility to copy-paste the output from U3 as it is the very minimal installation there.

I don't much experience with Debian Stretch yet. As you may have noticed, this thread is called "Debian Jessie".
My previous tests with Debian Stretch on ODROID U3 was not very promising, window movement on desktop was terrible slow and laggy, but I remember that glmark2-es2 was working "normal" even if somewhat slower than on Debian Jessie.

You need a correct/updated version of armsoc driver to get this to work. I also don't know the state of your GPU drivers, since I don't know what you did to update the image and what drivers you installed.
So it's really hard to tell what could be the issue.

Yes, I have seen the other thread about stretch and that you had glmark2-es2 working at higher FPS than just 10, so this is why I'm asking.

To update to stretch I just replaced "jessie" with "stretch" in the /etc/apt/sources.list.
Also, I replaced "jessie" with "stretch" in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/meveric-jessie.list and also I removed "jessie-backports" from there as there seem to be no "stretch-backports".
Then I installed "mali400-odroid" drivers.
That's it. Then I did "apt update/upgrade/full-upgrade" and installed the "xf86-video-armsoc-odroid", so I suppose this is the right one, because X did not start with the old one from jessie. Maybe I need to build it with some other options? Becasuse it is strange that it limits the FPS at exactly 10... maybe related to that window movement lags, as those seem to be also ~10 fps...

You write you installed mali400-odroid and the did the updates.
That was probably the issue.
Since the updates most likely have overwritten the mali libraries.
Reinstalling the mali drivers might all that is needed.

You will see a line "Depends" which tells you what packages and version of a package is needed to install this package.

You can install a package with the version you need with <packagename>=<version>
for example: apt-get install glmark2-data=2014.03-1+deb9

The new package for glmark2-data comes from my port to the Debian Stretch image for ODROID C2.
glmark2-data is an architecture independent package and for this is seen by both armhf and arm64, while I only compiled glmark2-es2 for arm64 up to now, since it was not available on arm64.

$ sudo apt-get install glmark2-es2 glmark2-data=2014.03-0ubuntu3
sudo: unable to resolve host u3

As you can see, glmark2-es2 depends on data version exactly 2014.03-1+deb9 which is not available in the repo. So, you just need to upload data package of version 2014.03-1+deb9 to meveric-all or meveric-stretch to fix that, I suppose...

I really can't say what's the issue. I just turned on my image from a couple months back and it was working fine.
I'm currently uploading my image and will post the link here.. don't consider it production ready.. it's just a mashed up testing stuff..still I get 90-110 FPS on glmark2-es2

Ok, I have tried your image and it gives better FPS, around 80 in most of the scenes of glmark2-es.
But I could not find the difference between your image and mine. The only thing is that I use XFCE and you use MATE. But I don't think it can be a problem... or can it?

Not sure the XFCE window manager had some issues in the past, at least under Ubuntu not sure how the current state is.
try installing a different window manager and switch to that on your image to see if that can be the case.

I don't really know where XFCE has it's config for compositing (I don't really like XFCE and don't use it for that matter), but I guess you should find info about this on google.

Hooray! That did it! I disabled compositing in XFCE4 and now I get 70 fps in most glmark2-es scenes! It was quite easy, could be done even from UI in Settings Manager -> Window Manager Tweaks -> Compositor.
Just for info, I use XFCE because it works faster than all others, even faster than LXDE.

Thank you very much for all the help! The solution appeared to be so easy, but that's how it always happens, spending days to find easy solution .

Next thing is to make WiFi working, but I haven't bought WiFi dongle yet... so, later I might ask some questions about that also.

after you helped me a lot with your GameStation project, again I have to ask you for help.

I want to use my second Odroid U3 as a server for printers and external hard drives. For performance issues, I prefer to use it command line based without a desktop environment. Unfortunately, I have some problems to setup WiFi by terminal.

After the first start of the odroid I connected it to the internet by Ethernet. Then I followed the update procedure

Can you tell what to do to enable WiFi with your image, please? If you prefer, you may answer in German as well. I was just writing in English in case another guy not speaking German has the same problems and is looking for asolution.

You're confusing some tools here. The package iw provides exactly one tool, and that's iw. iwlist and iwconfig are both part of the package wireless-tools. wireless-tools uses the old/deprecated wext API, iw uses the newer nl80211 API. So if iwlist works for you, this just means that your WiFi hw/driver only supports the old API (and hence is crap *g*)

I' m using this Debian Jessie and all works fine! But...I want to use a reader like this ( http://wiki.volkszaehler.org/howto/simpler_ir_leser ) on the Odroid U3. I got it working on a Raspi and want to use it now on the U3.
For that I thougt, I could use the UART-RXT-Line from ttySAC1 BUT this one is activated as default at bootup in the /boot/boot.scr-file.

there should already be a boot.txt somewhere either in the .rar file or on the original image.

You can't copy the .src and rename it .txt since it's a binary file.
The .txt file is pure text... you can copy the text that is inside the .scr file and make a .txt out of it.. just leave all the scrambled characters out of it.
